Introduction
Hi folks

I might as well introduce myself, this seems like the right place to do so.

I'm a British guy living in Ottawa, Canada. I'm off to do Tom's course in Twin Falls in just a few weeks, then on to Bridge Day.

As far as preparation goes, I've got 420 jumps (mostly belly and freefly, some crw and accuracy). I've spent this season working on: accuracy and crw, informal learning about rigging, first aid, lots of reading about BASE and I've attended/ground-crewed for a few BASE jumps.

Hopefully no stupid questions from me on this site, but no promises..

Yes, but that's a private matter.

Well, if it was a private matter, it sure the hell isn't any more! Tongue

Ohhhh I remember that now. The vimeo video is hilarious! It looks weird when he wraps the material on top of the tail.
Skydiving: wrap the tail around the whole canopy
BASE: wrap the whole canopy around the tail
